Licensed & Insured • Local Massachusetts Experts • Financing Available
Hard Water Is a Massachusetts Problem
If your town runs on groundwater wells — like Mansfield, Franklin, Needham, or Taunton — your water is almost certainly hard. Calcium and magnesium dissolve into the supply underground, then come out of solution in your home: white crust on faucets and shower doors, stiff scratchy laundry, spots on dishes, and an invisible layer of scale that chokes water heaters, dishwashers, and coffee makers years before their time. A properly sized water softener removes hardness at the point of entry, so every tap, appliance, and fixture in the house is protected. We size the system off a real free in-home water test — not a guess — and our licensed plumbers handle the installation end to end.
Everything Else We Handle Under the Same Roof
Whole-home Brita PRO systems that tackle hardness, chlorine, iron, and PFAS — better-tasting water from every tap and appliances that last years longer.
Engineered filtration for restaurants, offices, gyms, and facilities where water quality affects equipment, product, and customers every single day.

Burst pipe, no heat, no hot water — a real person answers around the clock and emergency calls jump straight to the front of the line.

Whether it’s water you don’t trust, a fixture that won’t quit dripping, or a furnace limping into another winter — one call covers it. Consultations are free, and there’s never any pressure to buy.
Where CleanTap Is Different
Most home service companies are built around a single trade, so every problem looks like that trade’s solution. We start from the house instead — how the water, the plumbing, and the heating and cooling systems affect one another — and recommend the fix that actually solves the problem, even when it’s the cheaper one.
Start With a Whole-Home Consult
In one visit we’ll test your water, look over your plumbing, and check the age and condition of your heating and cooling equipment. You get a plain-English rundown of what’s fine, what’s wearing, and what’s worth budgeting for — no scare tactics, no obligation.
Water Softener Service Across Eastern Massachusetts
We install and service water softeners throughout our Massachusetts service area — especially the hard-water communities of Bristol County, western Norfolk County, and inland Plymouth County, where town wells make softening the single highest-impact upgrade a homeowner can make. Pairs perfectly with whole-home filtration for iron, manganese, and PFAS.
Water Softener FAQs
How do I know if I need a water softener?
The telltale signs: white mineral crust on faucets and showerheads, spotted glassware, dry skin and dull laundry after washing, and water heaters or dishwashers dying young. If you’re in a well-supplied town, assume hardness until proven otherwise — our free in-home water test gives you the exact grains-per-gallon number in minutes.
Do you really handle all three trades in-house?
Yes. Our filtration specialists, licensed plumbers, and HVAC technicians are all CleanTap — not subcontractors. They share notes on your home, which means faster diagnosis and no finger-pointing between trades.
What areas do you serve?
Greater Boston and Eastern Massachusetts — roughly everything east of Worcester — served from our Mansfield and Braintree locations. That includes Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth, Suffolk, and Middlesex counties.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every plumber and HVAC technician we send is licensed in Massachusetts, fully insured, and background-checked. We’re happy to share license numbers before work begins.
What does a water softener cost to run?
Very little — a bag or two of salt every month or so (a few dollars) and a small amount of water used during regeneration. Against that, softened water typically extends water heater and appliance life by years and cuts soap and detergent use noticeably, so most systems pay for themselves.
Can one visit cover more than one problem?
Absolutely — it’s one of the biggest reasons homeowners call us. The same appointment can cover a leaking valve, a water quality test, and a look at a struggling AC unit. One trip, one report, one plan.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are done in half a day. Our licensed plumbers plumb the softener at your main line, set the regeneration schedule for your household size, and walk you through the (minimal) upkeep before we leave.
Do you service equipment you didn’t install?
Yes. We repair and maintain all major brands of water heaters, filtration systems, furnaces, boilers, and AC equipment, regardless of who installed them.
Do you offer financing?
We do — flexible monthly payment options with $0-down plans on qualifying installations like filtration systems, water heaters, and HVAC equipment. Ask during your consult and we’ll walk you through the numbers.
How do I get started?
